In this episode, we review a Psychology Today article on how success engages the ego and then can undermine genuine leadership and even motivation. We talk about it mainly from two examples. One, a coach moving into a management position, and two, a junior player having success and having ego protection block openness to feedback and other ideas. We also dive into the idea of We before Me when making decisions.
